Reseña del editor

The present volume, so far as we know, is the first attempt to present in a popular form the principles of human geography. The importance of this branch of geography is so self-evident as to need no demonstration. Without it neither the history of the past nor of our own times can be rightly understood. The method adopted in Man and His Work is as far as possible concrete. Beginning with the simplest societies, in which the effect of physical surroundings is, as it were, writ large, the increasing complexity introduced by new conditions and occupations is illustrated by concrete examples of existing societies. In the preparation of the book the writers have made use, wherever possible, of the original narratives of the chief travellers who have visited the regions described. In addition to these, a full list of which will be found in the bibliographies appended to the Descriptive Geographies of the Worlds edited by the present writers, teachers will find Ratze VsH istory of Mankind an English translation of which can now be obtained, valuable as a storehouse of facts and of suggestions for their interpretation. The writers desire in particular to record their debt, both for awakening their interest in human geography and for familiarizing them with many of the ideas put forward in the following pages, to Professor Patrick Geddes of Dundee, and through him to the school of Le Play, ably represented at the present time by Mr. Edmond Deniolins, Director of La Science Sociale. This monthly review contains many articles which cannot fail to be useful to teachers interested in human geography, but considerable discrimination must be exercised in accepting all the conclusions. The writers gratefully acknowledge the corrections and criticisms they have received. A. J. H. F. D. H. Oxford, May
